Thanks!! [/url]
Not a thick-webbed SCJ block, but is actually a standard 429/460 block, judging by the casting number and the pictures in the auction.

It's hard to see in the pictures but to me the heads look like pedestal-type rockers in the image with the valve covers off; you should really ask for a picture of the head casting numbers and a close-up shot of the valve train. Also, ask if the pistons are forged or hypereutectic or cast, and what the compression ratio is, so that you know if the engine will work with your truck.

429's and 460's are identical down to every nut, bolt and part, with the only exceptions being that the crankshaft and the pistons are engine-specific (but even the connecting rods are the same). So it's no big deal that the engine was coverted from 429 to 460.
